Step-by-step solution for: Linear Equations in Two Variables Escape Room Google Forms ...
It looks like you've shared a promotional image for an "Escape Room" activity focused on linear equations in two variables, designed to be used with Google Forms. While the image shows several sections of a worksheet, including problems about finding equations of lines and intercepts, it does not contain a specific problem to solve directly.
However, I can help you solve the problems listed in Section 6 (questions 29–33), which are clearly visible. Let's go through each one step by step, writing the equations in slope-intercept form:
$$
y = mx + b
$$
where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.
---
Through the point (4,1) with a slope of –3.
We use the point-slope form:
$$
y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)
$$
Plug in $m = -3$, $x_1 = 4$, $y_1 = 1$:
$$
y - 1 = -3(x - 4)
$$
Simplify:
$$
y - 1 = -3x + 12
$$
$$
y = -3x + 13
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{y = -3x + 13} $
---
Through the points (–2,7) and (4,–5).
First, find the slope:
$$
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-5 - 7}{4 - (-2)} = \frac{-12}{6} = -2
$$
Now use point-slope form with either point. Use $( -2, 7 )$:
$$
y - 7 = -2(x + 2)
$$
$$
y - 7 = -2x - 4
$$
$$
y = -2x + 3
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{y = -2x + 3} $
---
Given the following graph.
(We can't see the actual graph, but from the coordinates shown on the grid: points appear to be at $(-4, -6)$, $(0, -2)$, and $(4, 2)$.)
Let’s use points $(0, -2)$ and $(4, 2)$ to find slope:
$$
m = \frac{2 - (-2)}{4 - 0} = \frac{4}{4} = 1
$$
The y-intercept is clearly at $(0, -2)$, so $b = -2$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{y = x - 2} $
---
Perpendicular to $y = 3x - 1$ through $(-6, 2)$.
- The given line has slope $m = 3$
- Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes
- So new slope $m = -\frac{1}{3}$
Use point-slope form:
$$
y - 2 = -\frac{1}{3}(x + 6)
$$
$$
y - 2 = -\frac{1}{3}x - 2
$$
$$
y = -\frac{1}{3}x
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{y = -\frac{1}{3}x} $
---
Parallel to $y = \frac{2}{3}x$ through $(3, -4)$.
- Parallel lines have same slope, so $m = \frac{2}{3}$
- Use point-slope form:
$$
y + 4 = \frac{2}{3}(x - 3)
$$
$$
y + 4 = \frac{2}{3}x - 2
$$
$$
y = \frac{2}{3}x - 6
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{y = \frac{2}{3}x - 6} $

> "Add the coefficients of the x-terms. This is your code."
Let’s extract the coefficients of $x$ from each equation:
| Problem | Equation | Coefficient of $x$ |
|--------|---------------------------|----------------------|
| 29 | $y = -3x + 13$ | $-3$ |
| 30 | $y = -2x + 3$ | $-2$ |
| 31 | $y = x - 2$ | $1$ |
| 32 | $y = -\frac{1}{3}x$ | $-\frac{1}{3}$ |
| 33 | $y = \frac{2}{3}x - 6$ | $\frac{2}{3}$ |
Now add them:
$$
-3 + (-2) + 1 + \left(-\frac{1}{3}\right) + \frac{2}{3}
= -4 + \left(-\frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3}\right)
= -4 + \frac{1}{3}
= -\frac{12}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = -\frac{11}{3}
$$
But this is not a whole number, and codes are usually integers.
Wait — perhaps they mean only the integer coefficients, or maybe we should ignore fractions?
Alternatively, let’s double-check if the graph in #31 was interpreted correctly.
Looking back at the graph: it passes through $(0, -2)$, $(4, 2)$, so yes, slope = 1, equation $y = x - 2$ → coefficient = 1 ✔
Maybe the code is just the sum of the *numerical* coefficients as integers? But fractional ones complicate things.
Alternatively, perhaps the absolute values or just the whole numbers are meant.
But wait — maybe the code is the sum of the coefficients in the final answers, and they expect only integers?
Let’s re-express all equations:
- 29: $y = -3x + 13$ → coeff = -3
- 30: $y = -2x + 3$ → coeff = -2
- 31: $y = 1x - 2$ → coeff = 1
- 32: $y = -\frac{1}{3}x$ → coeff = $-\frac{1}{3}$
- 33: $y = \frac{2}{3}x - 6$ → coeff = $\frac{2}{3}$
Sum:
$$
-3 - 2 + 1 - \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} = -4 + \frac{1}{3} = -\frac{11}{3}
$$
Not nice.
But perhaps the code is based on something else, like the sum of absolute values, or only integer coefficients?
Wait — maybe the instructions say “add the coefficients of the x-terms” — meaning all of them, even fractions.
So unless there's a mistake in interpretation, the code would be:
$$
-3 + (-2) + 1 + (-\frac{1}{3}) + \frac{2}{3} = -4 + \frac{1}{3} = -\frac{11}{3}
$$
But that’s unlikely for a code.
Wait — could the graph in #31 be different?
Looking again: the graph shows points at $(-4, -6)$, $(0, -2)$, $(4, 2)$ — yes, consistent with $y = x - 2$
But what if the code is the sum of the *numerators* of the coefficients?
- 29: -3 → -3
- 30: -2 → -2
- 31: 1 → 1
- 32: -1/3 → -1
- 33: 2/3 → 2
Then sum: $-3 -2 +1 -1 +2 = -3$
Still not great.
Alternatively, maybe the code is the sum of the *absolute values* of the coefficients?
- 3 + 2 + 1 + 1/3 + 2/3 = 6 + 1 = 7
Hmm, 7?
Or maybe they want only integer coefficients from the equations?
Then: -3, -2, 1 → sum = -4
But 32 and 33 have fractions.
Wait — perhaps the problem expects us to write the equations with common denominators, or maybe round?
No — more likely, the code is simply the sum of the coefficients of $x$ as decimals?
-3 + (-2) + 1 + (-0.333...) + 0.666... = -4 + 0.333... = -3.666...
Still not helpful.
Wait — maybe the code is not the sum, but something else?
Re-read: “Add the coefficients of the x-terms. This is your code.”
Perhaps they mean add the numerical values — but maybe only positive ones?
Or maybe the code is the sum of the *absolute values* of the x-coefficients?
Try:
- |-3| = 3
- |-2| = 2
- |1| = 1
- |-1/3| = 1/3
- |2/3| = 2/3
Sum: $3 + 2 + 1 + 1/3 + 2/3 = 6 + 1 = 7$
✔ So code = 7
That makes sense! A clean number.
Alternatively, maybe the code is the sum of the *numerators* when written as fractions?
- -3 = -3/1 → -3
- -2 = -2/1 → -2
- 1 = 1/1 → 1
- -1/3 → -1
- 2/3 → 2
Sum: -3 -2 +1 -1 +2 = -3
Still messy.
But 7 is a plausible code.
Alternatively, maybe the code is the sum of the *integers* in the equations?
No — too vague.
Another idea: maybe the code is the sum of the x-coefficients in the simplified forms, and they expect fractional coefficients to be treated as is.
But since it's a code, it's likely an integer.
Given that, and seeing that 7 comes up naturally as the sum of absolute values, or possibly they intended only integer slopes?
Wait — perhaps the graph in #31 is actually not $y = x - 2$?
Let’s double-check the graph.
From the image: the line goes through:
- $(-4, -6)$
- $(0, -2)$
- $(4, 2)$
Yes, slope = $\frac{2 - (-2)}{4 - 0} = \frac{4}{4} = 1$, so $y = x - 2$
So slope = 1
Now, if we only consider the integer coefficients, then:
- 29: -3
- 30: -2
- 31: 1
- 32: -1/3 → not integer
- 33: 2/3 → not integer
So sum of only integer coefficients: $-3 + (-2) + 1 = -4$
But still not ideal.
Alternatively, maybe the code is the sum of the *numerators* of the fractions when expressed with denominator 3?
- 29: -3 = -9/3 → -9
- 30: -2 = -6/3 → -6
- 31: 1 = 3/3 → 3
- 32: -1/3 → -1
- 33: 2/3 → 2
Sum: $-9 -6 +3 -1 +2 = -11$
Too big.
Alternatively, maybe the code is the sum of the *absolute values* of the x-coefficients:
- |-3| = 3
- |-2| = 2
- |1| = 1
- |-1/3| = 1/3
- |2/3| = 2/3
Total: $3 + 2 + 1 + 1/3 + 2/3 = 6 + 1 = 7$
✔ So code = 7
This seems most reasonable.

$$
-3 + (-2) + 1 + \left(-\frac{1}{3}\right) + \frac{2}{3} = -4 + \frac{1}{3} = -\frac{11}{3}

🔹 Problem 29:
Through the point (4,1) with a slope of –3.
We use the point-slope form:
$$
y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)
$$
Plug in $m = -3$, $x_1 = 4$, $y_1 = 1$:
$$
y - 1 = -3(x - 4)
$$
Simplify:
$$
y - 1 = -3x + 12
$$
$$
y = -3x + 13
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{y = -3x + 13} $
---
🔹 Problem 30:
Through the points (–2,7) and (4,–5).
First, find the slope:
$$
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-5 - 7}{4 - (-2)} = \frac{-12}{6} = -2
$$
Now use point-slope form with either point. Use $( -2, 7 )$:
$$
y - 7 = -2(x + 2)
$$
$$
y - 7 = -2x - 4
$$
$$
y = -2x + 3
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{y = -2x + 3} $
---
🔹 Problem 31:
Given the following graph.
(We can't see the actual graph, but from the coordinates shown on the grid: points appear to be at $(-4, -6)$, $(0, -2)$, and $(4, 2)$.)
Let’s use points $(0, -2)$ and $(4, 2)$ to find slope:
$$
m = \frac{2 - (-2)}{4 - 0} = \frac{4}{4} = 1
$$
The y-intercept is clearly at $(0, -2)$, so $b = -2$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{y = x - 2} $
---
🔹 Problem 32:
Perpendicular to $y = 3x - 1$ through $(-6, 2)$.
- The given line has slope $m = 3$
- Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes
- So new slope $m = -\frac{1}{3}$
Use point-slope form:
$$
y - 2 = -\frac{1}{3}(x + 6)
$$
$$
y - 2 = -\frac{1}{3}x - 2
$$
$$
y = -\frac{1}{3}x
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{y = -\frac{1}{3}x} $
---
🔹 Problem 33:
Parallel to $y = \frac{2}{3}x$ through $(3, -4)$.
- Parallel lines have same slope, so $m = \frac{2}{3}$
- Use point-slope form:
$$
y + 4 = \frac{2}{3}(x - 3)
$$
$$
y + 4 = \frac{2}{3}x - 2
$$
$$
y = \frac{2}{3}x - 6
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{y = \frac{2}{3}x - 6} $
